Dear Friends and Colleagues

We are pleased to announce that WENMISS 2009 will be held at the Sutera Harbour Resort in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia from May 21st to 23rd 2009. The island of Borneo is a tropical paradise with unspoilt beaches, pristine rainforests and world class scuba diving, sailing and trekking experiences. This is a great opportunity to extend your stay after the Congress.

In addition we have worked hard to provide you with an outstanding programme and key international speakers. The theme for this year is less invasive, better outcomes – setting standards in Navigation and MIS. There will be a plethora of educational opportunities including oral presentations, posters, symposia, technical exhibitions and hands on workshops. We also plan to work with Spine Alliance during this Congress to help patients in need.

On behalf of WENMISS I extend a warm welcome to you to join us in Kota Kinabalu.
